I want to run three monitors. 1 VGA, 1 DVI and 1 HDMI. I know I need an active displayport adapter. Will this card work? Is the VGA a problem?

Display port adapters can be purchased to twin monitors or separate them, so 4 monitors could potentially be ran simultaneously from this card The VGA is not a problem as you can get a display port to double VGA adapter if you like. However the downside is that the memory is divided between the displays so the more you have the less memory each one will have. If you are using this for high end graphic stills this would be fine, video will be compromised greatly.

Haven't tried it, but if you have a low-profile slot, the mounting bracket only has space for two outputs--the display port and the DVI so that would be a show stopper. If full-height slot, then VGA, DVI and HDMI physically possible, you would have to verify that drivers will support 3 displays software-wise. Incidentally. the card comes with a DVI-to-HDMI adapter which supports HDMI audio output as well. Hope this helps.

The card has three possible outputs to monitors, but I have never seen software that will drive three monitors. I use UltraMon and it is limited to a dual monitor setup. My guess is that you'll be limited by your choice of software/drivers.

Hopefully you are using an HDMI to VGA, not a VGA to HDMI if you are taking the HDMI OUT to a VGA IN on the monitor. They only work one way. As far as the adapter, it's just strait wire - no issues there.

I assume you're talking about a laptop with a separate video output or a video card with digital and VGA outputs. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. That's a much simpler way to run with three monitors than mulitiple USB converters.

Yes, supports two monitors. I have 1 VGA and 2nd VGA connected via a dvi-i to VGA adapter. Dvi-d is the digital version on some cards that requires a more expensive active adapter.

You will need an adapter from dvi or HMDI I think to vga anyway there will be 3 plugs on the graphics board you will need to convert 1 to VGA can't remember which plug I used. Got the adapter at Radio shack for 14 bucks but, if you can wait a week you could buy the same adapter online for about 4

DisplayPort v1.2 was designed to be compatible with existing DisplayPort systems and cables. To take advantage of the new capabilities, a PC will need to be DisplayPort v1.2 enabled, however existing standard cables can still be used, including those with the new Mini-DisplayPort connector. To achieve the 21.6 Gbps rate, the per-lane data rate is doubled from 2.7 Gbps to 5.4 Gbps, over the four lanes that exist in the standard cable. For a single display, this enables up to 3840 x 2400 resolution at 60Hz, or a 3D display (120Hz) at 2560 x 1600. It is completely backward compatible with DisplayPort v1.1a and requires no new cables or other equipment. Now to answer your question, my monitors are only 1920 x 1080 and therefore I can't tell you whether this is mDP v1.1a or mDP v1.2. But if you aren't looking for what I mentioned above, i.e. ( 2 x 2560 x 1600) monitors setup or (4 x 1920 x 1200) monitors setup, then you should be fine with this adapter. Also, once you go above the 2 monitors limit, you need an "active" adapter to make the third monitor work. This adapter is "active" adapter and was able to meet my needs. Let me know if you have any other questions. Edit: It seems that this adapter will only support upto 1920x1200 (WUXGA). So as long as you have 4 or less monitors, you will be able to use this adapter for your mDP v1.2

Yes, I have 4 monitors running off this card, all on HDMI. The card outputs four DVI's and I use a DVI-HDMI adapter on each. Great card, awesome setup. Note that I use it for business, not gaming, so I can't really make any claims to performance.

Yes. Dual monitors should work fine provided you use any 2 of the three interfaces (DVI, HDMI, VGA). Using three monitors seems to have been an issue for some, and using 2 monitors with same interface/cable would require an adapter and *might* cause an issue. Just use one DVI and one HDMI and you will be fine!That being said...if you plan on doing anything more than watching video or playing VERY simple games (like puzzle/adventure games or old school DX9 games) then I have to agree with KYle -- buy a cheap graphics card. The nice thing about this new board is it is cheap,rock solid(so far), and allows you to make that upgrade down the line when you have more cash. Yes.

You can get away with two outputs on any mini display port to VGA or DVI adapter that mates your monitors but you will need VISIONTEK ACTIVE ADAPTERS after the initial two outputs. These are available with various output connections and the part number will vary based on the connection type

I have tested as many as 3 monitors using 2xDVI+1xHDMI, but because the card includes 2 DisplayPort and supports MST, in theory you could have more than 5 if you buy MST hublike this http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/mst-hub-1-3.html

This card can support 4 monitors, but you have to use the two DVIs, the display port, and HDMI ports to hook them up. I hope this helps!

no it will not work, you will need to purchase an **active** display-port adapter in order to do 3 monitors. Atleast one of your 3 monitors will need to be set up with an active port and the other two can be hooked up with any other type of connection.

Good Day Ricardo, we run with 2 active display port only, so far haven't try 6 into with 1 card

I would search on Google " how can I use 4 monitors" Also call or email www.evga.com and ask them. I think one card can run 2 monitors even though is has 3 connections. HDMI, DVI and VGA. I'm not smart enough to answer that question. Sorry, Bob

I don't think any 1 card could handle triple monitor support all at the same time. if they do - nvr came across on myself, usually cards have dual support but with multi ports, DVI, HDMI, and old school VGA. EVGA has great tech support - best bet would be to contact them.... Good luck - FYI - I like the card - no problems yet.. I play GW2 at max in 3D. If it dies support 3-4 monitors at once.. gona really take the life out of it fast...

yes.I used it with up to three monitors off this one card but it became extremely sluggish trying to push out the resolution (4000x800)Offloaded one port and moved a monitor to my integraded and made the performance better...
